Shuddup, Dierdouche.

[ngruz25]

Okay, I guess declining was a good move.

[Van Everyman]

Half the distance? Why even bother?

That's why.

[PeaceSignMoose]

Thank God for Carter.

[ElcaballitoMVP]

Andre Carter baby

[Soxaholic]

WHOA!!! CARTER!!!

[bigsid05]

Rex is awful. Wow.

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Rex'd

[Hendu's Gait]

Andre mfing Carter and Big vince!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Darnell's Son]

Wilfork's got some sweet ball skills.

[Mystic Merlin]

Wilfork got his TD hahahah

[Jnai]

With the TD, Vince Wilfork is going to be such a troll this week in interviews.

[LogansDad]

What a punt, I love Zoltan.

[axx]

That's why.

I thought they were getting the ball at the half yard line. Can't complain with the outcome though.

[Hendu's Gait]

Slater starting at Safety, Edelman at Nickel. What the fuck is happening in Foxboro.

They're playing Sexy Rexy, no big worries. And it's in Fed Ex

Slater has more talent and pedigree in his left pinky than the retreads in there post-Chung

Question for saber-ish types: Obviously seven points are better than two, but is a safety plus getting the ball back with decent field position that much worse of a result than a TD (and the ball going back to the other team)? Obviously points are points, but with the safety you get some points, a chance for more points on the ensuing kick-off-punt, and time off the clock. I imagine the TD still wins out, but I wonder if the difference is really that great.

[PseuFighter]

wow. it's like all pats fans.

[nothumb]

ahh yes, the old mesko - carter - wilfork TD connection, just like they drew it up.

[fenwaypaul]

What in the wide, wide world of sports is Rex Grossman doing in the NFL?

[Caspir]

That was some horrible coaching on Washington's side. Why the fuck are you letting Sexy Rexy drop back on first down? And on third and long, why not run a draw and see what happens against a shaky run D?

[bball831]

It's amazing it took Shanny 12 weeks to give Helu the bulk of the carries.

[PeaceSignMoose]

Grossman with the cannon!

[Van Everyman]

That looked like me throwing the ball.

I'll point you to our first drive as to the reason why you want the TD rather than the safety. I know where you're going with it, but you take the TD and move on. It's not like the D got worn down from that drive.

[CaptainLaddie]

Really?

[Jnai]

Sigh. This shit again.

[Van Everyman]

McCourty'd again.

[OldSaintJohn]

McCourty isn't very good

[axx]

Fucking hell

[Caspir]

I like Stallworth.

[Rico Guapo]

McCouty.

[Mystic Merlin]

Goddammit DMC.

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Liked it better when DMC was out.

Short story: safety worth 3.6 points, TD 6.3 points.

[RedOctober3829]

God McCourty sucks so bad this year

[Helmet Head]

That was a great pass

[mikeford]

Devin McCourty fucking sucks ass.

This is kind of the problem with saber style calculations in football to me. This question is very important based on who you're playing. If you're playing the Ravens or Steelers, you definitely want the points because they may not come again. If you're playing the Packers or Patriots, you may want the safety because you want to keep their offense of the field.

[Manzivino]

I can't believe that McCourty is the weak link in a secondary of UDFAs

[FelixMantilla]

Holy shit, I know he's not 100% but McCourty has been absolutely horrible this season.

[phragle]

Ran over mcourty like he was a pedestrian on the causway

[mostman]

He had about 3 full steps on him.

Thanks, this is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.

[Van Everyman]

More like 1 and it was a perfect pass. Still.

[Rico Guapo]

And again.

[Jinhocho]

DMC sucks donkey balls. Absolutely liability out there. If he show major improvement by early next year, he could be headed for a short New England career.

[Darnell's Son]

Ugh, Sexy Rexy is tearing it up.

[Mystic Merlin]

Motherfucker, DMC sucking total ass.
